Meeting Kamau the Street Boy

ak. On the way home from the hospital this afternoon, we ran into Kamau, an orphaned boy who lives on the streets. There are hundreds, if not thousands such children in Nakuru alone. They have no official support network and for most, the only family they will ever know are the fellow children with whom they wander the streets. Although these children normally congregate in small or large groups, Kamau seems to be alone, often spotted walking along the Nakuru highway in his over-sized suit, searching for food.
